Alex Demyan is a full time fine art photographer specializing in digital photography of Louisiana, New Orleans, and the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

Since becoming a full time professional in 1998, he has had thousands of photographs published covering every Louisiana parish. This collection of images will continue to promote tourism to Louisiana for years to come.

The focus of his career as a strictly editorial photographer was changed nearly overnight by two great tectonic shifts - The digital camera and Hurricane Katrina.
The decline in New Orleans tourism and conventions after Katrina collapsed the demand for both stock and editorial services.


Digital Photography likewise put into motion market forces that threatened the careers of many editorial photographers, but also bore the seeds of Demyan’s rebirth as a Fine Art Photographer.

Today he produces photographs destined more for the frame and less the printed page. Software and an imagination unbounded by the strict limits of the editorial world have allowed Demyan to take his photography to a new dimension that is still believable and true to his roots as a traditional photographer.

Since Katrina, Demyan has managed to survive as a full-time photographer thanks to the popularity of his fine art prints, which are displayed in homes and businesses throughout the world.

Trevor D. , Colfax, Washington …. This is the fifth such print of your photography that I’ve purchased over the last few years, all of which I hang proudly throughout my home. It means a lot to me to have this opportunity to work with you directly.

Serena S. , Hamden, Connecticut ... I purchased one of your large framed photos from Image Gallery a couple weeks ago while on vacation in New Orleans.  I had it shipped to my house in CT and received it earlier this week.  I absolutely love it!  I admired several others in the gallery as well.

Joe S.,   Austin Texas …  Several years ago I purchased 6 framed new orleans photos from a gallery on Royal Street. We just moved to a new house and hung your prints in our foyer, we have space for two more and were wondering if we could purchase;

Misty Dawn,  Preservation Hall Entrance

Jared L.  Baton Rouge …..My wife and I bought 3 of your New Orleans Photographs this past weekend (Chartres Street, Cafe Du Monde and Pirate's Alley) from a gallery on Royal Street.  We love the pieces and they make a beautiful addition to our new home.  Just wondered if you could tell us more about the technique you used to create these pieces so I can tell people more about them when they see them on our walls.

Anne B , Belleville, Ontario…For Christmas I received a new orleans picture from my daughter
 and I LOVE IT ! The colors are beautiful and the lighting is amazing, I will find perfect
 spot for it in our new home. We will cherish it for many years to come.

Dawn P, St. Clair Shores, MI.  …  I had a hard time deciding but have made my choices. Pirates Alley and Exchange Alley … It has been a pleasure doing business with you.  As you can tell New Orleans has a special place in my heart

Becky K,  Phoenix, Arizona  … Still have that oversized Pirates Alley over my fireplace. Still gets raves! 

Scott W. , St. Petersburg FL …  I just returned from NOLA and purchased your "Desire" photo while there...perhaps a combo of Audubon Park and Streetcar in fog. It is haunting. I love the symmetry and subdued light.
